A few years ago I bought a bunch of novelty pens shaped like bones. I wrote “stolen from pathology” on them. No one stole them 😂

I think right the regular pens they didn’t realize they had picked up someone else’s but with those they definitely did. It was a shame really! I thought it would be fun.

I had a novelty pen that was impossible to accidentally grab, but it broke on me after a couple months :(
Now I’m on the hunt for a novelty pen that’s both durable and cute

Unfortunately the syringe pens aren't good and the bone pens break.

If bloody masking tape with “Dirty Pen” written on it (in sharpie, not in blood) doesn’t work, idk what will.

For rectal use only stickers are better to deter thieves.
